Monitoring and evaluation framework: year-2 implementation plan

Overview

WHO’s Three-year strategy for Preventing and Responding to sexual misconduct was launched in 2023 and form the basis of institutionalization of core measures to address sexual misconduct across the Organization.

During year 1, 82% of the planned actions were completed and the rest incorporated into the year 2 implementation plan. Year 1 witnessed the establishment of a strong policy framework with accompanying processes and standards, the shift to a risk-based and victim and survivor-centered approach, massive scale up of workforce engagement and capacity building, and tangible improvements in the overall culture to prevent and respond to sexual misconduct by our personnel.

The year 2 implementation plan built on achievements since 2021 and shifted the focus to operationalizing the policies and procedures that were established in year 1 and building up safeguarding measures in countries and high-risk operations. The indicators and targets had been updated accordingly to reflect the journey towards making zero tolerance for sexual misconduct, for inaction against it and for retaliation against those who report a reality.

The year 2 implementation plan concluded on 31 December 2024 recording a completion rate of 83%.
